Welcome to ideo.

We are a small consultancy specialising in the formulation of R&D and innovation strategies and the planning and management of programmes to realise those strategies.

If you are looking for any of the repositories that we hold on behalf of clients, you cannot access them directly from this home page. Please email Bob for the URL and any security requirements for access.

Our principal is Bob Malcolm. Follow his link for examples of his work and to find out about his background.

If you are interested in research and development, come to the R&D Society. We meet at the Royal Society about once a month.

For safety critical systems, visit the Safety Critical Systems Club which organises a range of events for members from all industrial and commercial sectors, .

Also - some thoughts on how to formulate research objectives, in the context of adding to scientific knowledge.

And by popular request, a PDF version of Bob's Brief Guide to Business Planning 'de-anonymised', at last.
